Used 2023 Kia Forte sedans for sale near Rolling Hills Estates, CA

We made the deal on the phone, so there was no negotiating once i got to the dealership. Once there, the staff was attentive and prompt. Made the whole experience enjoyable.

Bought the vehicle new in October of 2023. Now it’s March of 2025. Have yet to have an issue🤞though have heard of common problems many have had. I’ve put roughly 20 k miles on the car in a year and a half (mostly interstate driving). Technology package is lovely and the vehicle has an overall stylish feel. It’s important to keep in mind, though, that you’re buying a 20k dollar vehicle from 2023. It’s plastics galore in there, so, though stylish, the material quality isn’t the best. If you’re someone who takes care of your things, you shouldn’t have an issue! Use the maintenance schedule found in the Owner’s manual and this vehicle should get you where you’re going for a reasonable amount of years. That being said, if you’re trying to decide between and LX[S] and GT (not including GT-Line), choose the GT. Though you’re paying a little extra, you get a standard transmission with real gears (the car has more power than you’d think too) rather than the CVT found in the LX[S] (and GT-line). CVT tech has greatly improved within recent years, but they’re still known to be problematic at times. All in all, this generation of Kia seems to be more reliable than most previous gens. Definitely a real deal competitor with the carolla/civic and worth the consideration!

I?ve been taking my 2003 Tacoma prerunner to Toyota service since 2003 . Every time I go it great, all the service managers are nice and friendly. My service manager Edwin is a great manager. He understands everything that has come up on my truck. I?ve never had any issues with there service and if they find anything wrong they let me know and if it needs immediate repair or it needs to be addressed on my next service appointment. I?m going to continue going there for any issues with my truck. Thank you for reaching this Don Johnson

Bought a 2023 forte gt-line for my daughter. We have had the car for 13months and have driven about 12,000 miles. I honestly cannot believe the 1star reviews, nor should you. I was a loyal Honda fanboy for over 30 years before I bought this Kia. I bought a totally loaded Forte non turbo for a hair under 25k with a crazy good warranty. Why not? I figured. 13 months and 12k miles later it rides better, has more power and is quieter than the day we bought it! Zero issues with anything. No squeaks, rattles or interior flaws. Sadly no tire wear. I cannot wait to replace the Kuhmos it came with. It handles great and is fun to drive. My wife calls it “a peppy little thing”. And she drives a CX-5 turbo or my 5.7 liter ram. Over 40 mpg on highway and mid 30s driving around town. This is a fine car. Not a cheap version Hyundai. Much nicer IMHO than the Hyundai. For those knocking the resale… run the numbers and try to buy one as cheap as you say you sold yours for. The Harmon Kardon stereo sounds awesome! This is one of my favorite purchases because its value continues to surprise me. And they give a $500.00 military discount. Don’t buy based on my opinions go test drive one! Test drives are free. Go to carvanna or get on car gurus and see how cheap you can buy one a year or two old used one for.

A very good buying experience, facilities are great customer service is far than beyond, Financings experience is great no rush and no pressure at it?s best .

I purchased my GT turbo - automatic in 2021 as 2022 model and my only regret was that didn’t wait for the cooling seats package. Great looking vehicle with above average performance and great fuel efficiency. It’s one of the best affordable sports sedans in the market and one of the few where you can actually fit a 6’ adult in the backseat. I’m looking to add another with my desired package soon.

Everyone at the dealership did great work today they were very very very helpful above and beyond service ten out of ten work highly recommended.

Bought my Forte Gt line at Mathews of Blakley Kia, great salesman ship, i had Dylan, he was very knowledgeable. My Forte is beautiful paid under 23000. and got a car with alot of options other dealers would have charged you for looks great and performs well, i have read other reveiws that slam the kia brand but they have come a long way

The listing indicated the vehicle had been in an accident. I emailed the dealer asking for the details. I received a reply that did not address the accident. I renewed my request. I received another reply from a different agent that did not address the accident. I renewed my request again and this agent promptly sent me the Carfax. He was very responsive and while after looking at the Carfax I decided to pass, I asked him to keep an eye out for the vehicle I am looking for.

I bought this vehicle in February of 2023. I have approximately 9,000 miles on it and it has performed flawlessly. It is very easy to drive and gets great gas mileage. Mine is Red (currant red) with black interior.

I dislike going to the car dealer for service so much! However, I will tell you that going to Mazda has totally changed my outlook. People are courteous, polite, and very professional. If I have to go get my car serviced it will always be to Mazda. Love my M3.

Mike and Ash did a good job getting me into a new lease and taking care of my old car at the same time.

I love my new kicks! I was able to get the Color I wanted and with a great deal. Thank you Randy and team from Costa Mesa!!!

I was very impressed by this dealership and will recommend to any friends and family. I will also be coming back in case I need a new car or trade in or anything that is of the matter.

Found the exact Civic we wanted and worked with our Budget! Thank you Armando and the Honda World team!

My service man was amazing! He didn’t pressure me to buy unnecessary service products, as a woman it’s important to me.

Wow this is hands down the best dealership i went to. Usually I dread the finance part but John Hong my finance manager was a star amongst Stars! I Definitley will let everyone know about Calstar Mercedes led by Armen and company!

JOHN NGUYEN HAS BEEN MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR OVER 5 YEARS. HE IS NO LESS THAN TOP NOTCH PROFESSIONAL. UNDER CARE OF JOHN IN KEEPING MY SERVICE VISITS IN CHECK, MY V8 NISSAN NV 2500 HD 2013 MODEL NOW HAS OVER 400,000 MILES ON ODOMETER. I WAS VERY PLEASED TO BE ASSISTED BY SERVICE TECHNICIAN KRYSTA, WHO WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, AND KEPT ME UPDATED ON PROGRESS ON MY VEHICLE AT REGULAR INTERVALS. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

I've had the pleasure of working with Serj and his team for over 10 years now. We've purchased and leased multiple cars and the service and ease is incomparable.

I recently purchased a vehicle from LAX Automotive, and the experience was nothing short of excellent! From the moment I walked in, the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. A special thanks to Angel, Nick, and Mauro who went above and beyond to ensure the process was smooth and stress-free. They answered all my questions with patience, provided clear information, and made sure I was comfortable with my decision. Their knowledge and customer-first attitude truly stood out. The entire process was seamless and efficient. I not only left the dealership feeling confident in my purchase and completely satisfied with the level of service I received, but also thrilled with the incredible deal I received. I highly recommend LAX Automotive to anyone in the market for a new vehicle. Their team is dedicated to providing a great experience, and I'm beyond happy with my new car!

Everytime I bring my vehicle in for service I am greeted and attended exceptionally well. I tend to ask for Yuri, as she has offered me great customer service. She goes above and beyond her line of work. She patiently hears my concerns and offers her expert advice with a smile. I highly recommend asking for Yuri and going to this Kia of Carson. Keep up the great work 👍.

They take of me and my car, always, gee, they even treated me to lunch while I waited the 2 hours to do my car.

Salesman very professional and polite. He answer all of my questions. He made my car buying very easy. At the end of the deal he walked me through different options my vehicle came with. Again salesman was very professional
